Cops called to the pool hall

Those folks with asthma or other respiratory ailments sometimes simply cannot wear masks. Any extra CO2 in their systems will make them lightheaded enough to pass out.
Think of this next time you see a driver wearing a mask. Watch as some act like they're drunk.
 
What's a poolroom?
Haven't been in one for about 8 moths.
Miss them dearly.
I see pictures of guys on FB playing in the poolrooms around me....no masks.
If that is the way they are going through their lives with Covid raging across the country then I don't want to be around them.
I miss these guys but I'm going to wait it out.

I'm in that group...have a really tough time beyond a few minutes in a mask. Going stir crazy staying home, but it beats not getting enough oxygen.
 
The Covid virus is still raging all across the country with more people dying than at any time before. And some people still chose to ignore the fact that wearing a mask provides protection both for yourself and others. They use the argument about "personal freedom." What about protecting other people, does that matter? I think we all can agree that in many states it's mandatory to wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle and seat belts are mandatory everywhere! Try telling a cop about your "personal freedom" when he writes you a ticket for not following those rules. The threat of Covid is just as real and just as deadly.
Right on Jay, you dont have the right to yell fire in a theater and you dont have the right to make others sick.I cant play in leagues and tourn. were i live because a few who are as*holes.If your so patriotic join the military and tell em about your rights .No sarg. i wont thats against my rights.
 
how many of that 95% applied for the free money from the govt.? it was okay to take that and the unemployment money though. then go around and become super spreaders of the virus because they feel they dont care about their or others health and chances of dying or permanent harm.
part of wearing a mask or a face shield, if cant wear a mask is to protect others than yourself.
 
At least 95% in my room prefer no mask. As do the owners and staff.

All are welcome though. If you feel otherwise, stay away. For the pool room.
How are things going in Florida now? The Covid rate in the Miami area is surging, that much I know for sure.
 
Makes you wonder, what will hurt business more.....loss of those customers who are barred because they refuse to wear masks, or those who won’t come in because other players are allowed to not wear them?

To play devil's advocate, you could absolutely do just that and just pay the fine.

Except that A: room owners are barely getting by, let alone having enough money to pay fines, and B: at least here, repeat offenders were in jeopardy of being shut down. No fine, closed.

Or...you could work with the people in your community and try to do whats necessary to stay open and get through this...

We live in a world today where logic and reason are out the window and lies and falsehoods have become the norm.

Agree 100%, Jay. The concept of the mask's importance for ourselves (and our country, really) is so easy to understand that whenever my great-grandson -- only 6 years-old -- is asked by neighbors or store clerks whether mask-wearing was hard for him to get used to . . .

. . . he always immediately replies: "I want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem." (Heard it from his mom and dad i'm sure. Well good for them; they're an important part of the solution too.)

Unfortunately, since most rooms these days also sell food & alcohol, and since you cannot eat or drink while wearing a mask, those patrons most cautious would still stay away. Unless, have rooms that are currently open thus suspended those ancillary services?

Here, in order to be open, they need to sell food. (i.e. bars that don't sell food have not been open since this began) The standard rule is that you are to wear your mask until seated, and unless/until you're eating/drinking. You have to wear one while up and moving around. the tables are supposed to be separated for social distancing, and in theory you're only supposed to be there with immediate household members, but that part hasn't been really enforced. The distance between tables, capacity limits and mask usage is the prime concern, at least 'round here

Thx for sharing jay. Your assumption is that masks work and you believe that. I respect that. However, I disagree. You might be right/I might be right/chances are we are both partly right. Just because you believe what some say about masks, doesn’t mean that you are correct. In America citizens Typically are allowed the opportunity to exercise their constitutionally protected freedom rights. You can’t just tell people to do it because you choose to believe in it. Hope that makes sense. Thanks.

Exactly and thats why you wear a mask lol.
Pure media hyped BS and you swallow it hook line and sinker.
If this really was a pandemic and people were really dieing from it like they say, you would see it all around you, but you don't.
If it was anything like they say, no one would even care about pool.
Trips to the store would be made in full hazmat suits lol.
You people are so gullible it's pathetic.
And now you're gonna have millions line up to get a vaccine for it.
Unbelievable where we are as a country and what the media is doing to the masses.
